The new budget includes an additional $250,000 for technology hardware replacement, and $450,000 to pay annual payments on a bond of up to $5 million for Career and Technical Education renovations.

The new budget allows Delaware Valley to offer marching band for the first time, starting in August.

The $150,000 start-up costs for marching band will come from this year's budget.

"This money is available thanks to tight fiscal management of expenses and many items coming in under estimates this year in a competitive market," District Superintendent John Bell said. "We put $19,000 into next year's budget, since that is our annual expense."

That includes salaries, instrument tuning and cleaning uniforms for the marching band.

The budget will be on public display for 30 days before the board votes in June on it.
